What can you say about a band that is true to its colors and that whole “Americann way of life” vibe?

MEAN VENUS frontman J,an all around icon in the resurgence of rock, recorded their debut release PCP last year and got some great reviews! Now they’re back in 2009 with a quick CD single entitled “Crazy Ass Americann.”

Before the release of their new upcoming sophomore CD, J was playing all the instruments and recording all the vocals, but on the single he has recruited some of the best musicians in the area for the new disc.

By the way J, I loved the way your press package came in a puff envelope colored with the Americann Flag with “Declaration” printed on it. Great idea… we salute you!!!

Now let’s get to the single “Crazy Ass Americann.”

The song opens with an introduction by a female child saying “Put Your Hands Together for MEAN VENUS! Then the song really starts to pump the blood through your vessels as images of vintage STEPPENWOLF mixed with a bit of Rob Zombie takes hold of your senses. “Crazy Ass Americann” has a live feel to it that will have the audience chanting along with the cool lyrics. The sweet guitar solos do add a special touch with the heavy vocals giving the song an almost anthem-like sound.

After listening to the song, I really can’t wait for the full length CD coming shortly. Check out MEAN VENUS and pick up their new CD once available. Oh and I loved the cover which pretty much depicts a male’s version of the Americann Dream! Well… if you add in some dollar bills floating around it could make things easier… especially for a self-financed release.
